(03.04 lc)
which of these demonstrates the most sportsman - like statement? (3 points)
\you can keep playing hard, but you better focus or were in trouble.\
\mistakes are going to happen, but you cant make it that easy for them.\
\that just cost us the game, nice.\
\well get it back next possession, just play hard.\

Explanation:

A sportsman - like statement should be encouraging, positive, and focused on motivating teammates rather than being critical or negative.

• The first option ("You can keep playing hard, but you better focus or we're in trouble.") has a threatening or critical undertone.
• The second option ("Mistakes are going to happen, but you can't make it that easy for them.") still has a bit of a critical aspect about not making things easy for the opponent, rather than pure encouragement.
• The third option ("That just cost us the game, nice.") is sarcastic and negative.
• The fourth option ("We'll get it back next possession, just play hard.") is encouraging, focuses on the next opportunity, and motivates teammates to keep playing hard, which is very sportsman - like.

Answer:

D. "We'll get it back next possession, just play hard." (assuming the options are labeled A - D in order, with the last option being D)
